Horses do
not come with any preconceived ideas of what they should receive from a bodywork session, and unlike humans, they don’t
respond to placebos.

Because the horse is designed for different
tasks than humans, the Ortho-Bionomy principles have been adapted to suit a herd animal, who primarily stands to
sleep, lowers its head to the ground to eat, and whose structure is designed for speed, agility and performance.
